We Appeal to Experience.
For a long time we steadily refused to pub
ish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion
of the public generally, the great majority
were manufactured to order by unprincipled
parties as a means of disposing of their worth
less preparations.
That this view of the case is to a certain ex-
tent true, there can be no doubt.
At last, several years ago, we came to the
conclusion that every intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona f1de testimonials, and determined to use
as advertisements a few Of the many hum
dreds Of unsolicited certificates in our possess
sion.
In doing this, we published them as nearly a.
possible IN the exact language used by our cor

In my opinion, the flower of all the
Indian races is the tribe of the Sikhs. 1
have served both against them and with
them, and my respect for their military
qualities is unbounded. As horsemen
they have few equals, and nowhere in
the world have l seen such swordsmen as
are TO be found among the Sikh cavalry.
Our English troopers were generally able
to bear them down when charging en-
masse, for the Sikhs, like all semi-civi-
lied soldiers, did not understand the I'M
portance of keeping their ranks firmly
closed, and striking an opposing force
with the solidity of a wall. They at
tached too much Importance to individual
skill in the management of the horse and
weapon, but in this l believe them to he
unrivaled.
An English trooper engaged in single
combat with a Sikh horseman had alb
solutely no chance at all. With their
keen tulwars they would cut their oppo-
nents' veins, and then, paying little at
tention to the heavy dragon saber Of
their enemy, would, with "A single blow,
lop off "A head, arm or leg, and seldom
receive a wound in return. Their swords
are of the O exquisite edge and tenn
per, and are handled with a grace and
dexterity that seem like magic. l have,
time and again, seen a lemon completely
cut in two on "A naked hand, without the
skin being touched, and to cut off a
horse mead or leg at a single stroke, was
considered a very ordinary feat. Since
the mutiny, our native Indian regiments
have been largely recruited among the
Sikhs, whose hostility to the Hindoos and
Mohammedans is relied upon to keep
them true to their colors. and 80 far they
have been faithful under trying circum-
stances. They are splendid fighters, and
if Russian troopers should ever penetrate
into India, they would meet with a re-
sistance such as they little expect
